Is it a really good iron?

It has been a great iron for me. Very strong steam power for setting seams when quilting.

No I must say I don't LOVE it. My friend has the nicer version (maybe $400?) and I should have bought that one :(

Oh my. I am a professional seamstress and have sewed for the better part of sixty years. I went through 12 Rowena irons in less than 12 years. My irons get a LOT of use four to five days a week, twelve hours a day. This is my second Reliable had the first for two years then dropped on concrete. Bad choice! This one works very well. The steam is generatd in a separate chamber so no water leakage,but great steam. You must use distiller water, if you overfill, it will leak. It is a heavy iron and does a terrific job of ironing, pressing, and doing seams for quilt tops. It is difficult to see the water level, but I can handle that minor detail. In short, the best iron I have used! You can choose to have auto shut off, or on till it is unplugged.

I see someone was complaining about the auto shut off. If she would read her book you can over ride that and I do it al the time. I have had mine for 3 years. Every Rowenta I had started leaking in about a year. Company keeps changing their advise to stop this. None I found worked. I will never own another rowenta

The best iron I have ever had! Does not leak like Rowenta products. The iron was recommended by a local quilt shop owner.

I'm a quilter and I really like the iron. Steam at tip only.excellent dry iron.

I LOVE my iron...I've had no problems with it, I always override the auto shut-off, and the steam stays on without keeping my finger on the button. I use it constantly and love it!

It's okay -- it's a nice size, has decent features, but in my opinion it shuts off much too quickly and then I have to wait for it to heat up again before I can steam or press my next piece. I guess I don't work fast enough on the cutting table! Plus when you're steaming, it's awkward to keep your thumb on the button for steam, you have to press it every time instead of just letting it be on.

Yes. I regret buying this iron. It leaks water like crazy. Also water rusts it there and it stained my clothes.

I'm not sure if it was. I no longer have this iron because it broke in less than a year.

Yes, and its heavier and sturdier than the flimsy ones you find in the local stores. Very well made. I'm picky and I think this ironing board was worth every penny.

I love my Iron, I have very thick curly hair and it gets my hair extremely straight. I tried others and this by far is the best.

No but it is a great little iron, at the last quilt retreat I went to I would say 90 percent of the students had this iron. I own 2 myself.

Depends, I only used it for a laptop with no problem but an iron would be different. just feel how hot it is , if in doubt.

I am not sure how to answer this question, but I find this iron to be very useful. And in my opinion, the best iron to date. I used this iron with tap water and I find no problem with it so far.

I think so. More steam holes and the steam generator really force the steam. Best iron I have ever used, I require far less spray starch, even on 100 percent cotton.

I understand your problem. This iron is superior at all the temps, with or without steam and with double steam. It had been 20 years since I purchased an iron. I consulted Consumer Reports; it rated this iron as the best available. The only place I could find one was Amazon; none were available in any stores within a 50 mile radius. I would recommend it to you for ironing at any temperature. As a seamstress, I find it perfect for fusables as well as sheers, velvets, cottons, denim, and paper patterns.

Honestly, no idea. It gets hot though...not enough to burn clothes, which was an issue with another previous iron I had. Hope this helps.

Mine did the same thing. I searched the internet for anotber one. Best iron ever.

I really like the iron. It isn't real light, but I prefer a heavier iron. It's really a great iron!

I love my iron. I am a quilter and seldom use steam and seldom press more than one piece of fabric at a time. I have never noticed a "shine" on anything I iron. I use it to iron my clothes. I doubt you would have a problem.

The Oliso TG1600 does have some weight to it. But for myself I don't find it that bad and I have a weakness in my right hand due to a past surgery. A travel iron is great for what it is intended for, which is travel. I have one but would hate to depend upon it for my regular ironing.

lAccording to my husband, our house is 220 and I use this iron at home. The only criticism I have is I can't see when the water is low. My old Passap had a clear water tank, but this is a really good iron to use. Lightweight and does a good job.

I would say no, anyway, this is not the iron you want. I had nothing but trouble but purchased a Black and Decker iron and LOVE it. Not as expensive and ALOT betters. Does not lead and I am a sewer and use it everyday.
